SqueezeOS access point

[ddichiera]

I'm having trouble setting up an access point on my SqueezeOS Joggler.

I've followed the instructions on this pagehttp://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewto ... &start=160, but no luck.

I keep getting a syntax error when I run the Bash script.

joggler@openframe2:~$ sudo /opt/squeezeplay/bin/install_ap.sh
/opt/squeezeplay/bin/install_ap.sh: 12: /opt/squeezeplay/bin/install_ap.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Any suggestions?

From reading the thread it was tested on an OpenPeak device rather than an O2 Joggler. I have two types of USB WLAN sticks inside of those. The same as the regular O2 Joggler and some that have the antennas built in to the stick.

I had issues trying this with my PFSense firewall (BSD). Here is a list of AP working WLAN devices.

Thanks, but I don't think that's what was happening here.

I did a fresh install and now I can run the bash script, but I can't do an update or install hostapt or bridge-utils.

Spent about a day on this so far, with no success.

Ok, I updated the sources list with the following lines and I can now update. (I think I was in Australia when I built the current pendrive and now I'm in Italy - does that make any difference?)

Then I replaced the hostapd.conf file with these parameters from here: https://seravo.fi/2014/create-wireless- ... nt-hostapd

Code: Select all

interface=wlan0
ssid=Example-WLAN
hw_mode=g
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=PASS
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-EAP WPA-PSK-SHA256 WPA-EAP-SHA256

That got me to the point that hostapd would run with the following command:

Code: Select all

hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Now I'm getting these errors:

Some time ago I promised to write about setting up a Joggler access point... (eyes shifting, inhaling air through teeth).

I've done it manually on BuZz's distros and it is a PITA.

However, I found that the create_ap script works a treat. But before this you need to use the rt2800usb rather then the rt2870sta driver. Driver rt2800usb supports the mode necessary for an AP to work, and to be honest I've found it to be perfectly usable.

See :
http://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewto ... 580#p23981

For create_ap see :
https://github.com/oblique/create_ap

Haven't done this on SqPOS, but SqPOS is based on BuZz's ubuntu base distro.

There are some other guides on the net about create_ap. Also for doing manually I came across :
